Good gosh. Have there ever been three worse commissioners in charge of the Big 3 than Selig, Stern, and Goodell? I swear the three of them have a conspiracy to try and ruin the three major American sports so soccer and hockey can rule here like they do everywhere else.

The NFL should immediately implement a rule where the QBs wear a flag in their belt loop. Once a defender grabs the flag, the QB will be considered down. Any contact by a defender whatsoever should result in a 15 yard penalty, immediate ejection from the game and at a minimum a $50,000 fine and two game suspension.

Or...They must wear a tampon with an extended string. When it's yanked out..they're down.

Could you imagine Johnny Unitas getting hit by those roid Gorilla's in pads NFL teams have on defense?

I dont like all of the rule changes, but at the same time the modern athelete has changed. And unfortunately that change is why some feel the need to start protecting QB's.

On the one hand, we don't think the NFL is doing enough to take care of players beyond their playing days. We know some of these guys can't walk, can't stand up straight, can't make a fist....

I agree with most of these rules to protect the QB (some of the hits they take are just brutal & those are the legal ones), defenseless receivers, DLmen, etc...

I don't agree with allowing a players "reputation" affect the punishment, or whether he gets a pass. To a point. Antonio's hit on Ryan wasn't intentional, nor was it bad... a 15 yard penalty should have been enough.

But that hit Harrison put on Colt McCoy was ridiculous & he's been told time & time again to keep his head up, to lead with his shoulder. He can't even argue that McCoy dropped his head (like a RB would)... that was uncalled for & in his case, I think we need to start talking about banning him from the league (not saying he should be banned, but it should be discussed).

I think it has more to do with protecting marquee players that sell the NFL brand more than anything else. This is a league to make money, and right or wrong, that has a direct impact on rules in the game.
